    Actually, it decides to prompt you randomly. Sometimes it won't suggest anything, others it will.

    Really lame move from Sun to make the Java installer a crapware distribution channel.

    Hopefully Oracle knows how stupid is it and kills the practice, but I doubt it.

    The Russian were sending human waves of starving, pressed "soldiers" against an army with trained, properly fed soldiers who had some of the best and most advanced weaponry of the war.

    Russia's special recognition is for being fucking retards.

    Mark Cuban: Here's the plan. We get the top 1000 sites on our side and we hold google ransom for... ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
    Number Two: Don't you think we should hand out *more* than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't exactly a lot of money these days. The top number 1 site, yahoo, alone makes almost 8 billion dollars a year!

    Oh really? Why then is Microsoft trying to clone everything apple is doing?

    Zune, Microsoft Store, the new "iPhone killer" windows mobile, etc, etc

    Apple could be a very serious threat to Microsoft if they changed their attitude towards businesses.

    How about Microsoft? Although they're usually picked on because of their past actions, it's possible here.

    Apple is stealing a lot of Microsoft's mindshare and they're percieved as "cool and hip" whereas as Microsoft are thought of as an evil MegaCorp.

    Dragging Apple down to their level in the public's eyes wouldn't be a bad strategy.

  17. Re:Well ... on Microsoft Buys Teamprise, Will Ship Linux Tools · · Score: 1

    Only a moron would talk about how different C# and .NET are from Java.

    C# and .NET are a set of Windows centric Java knock off technologies. Microsoft got cock blocked trying to corrupt Java and make it effectively only useful on Windows (kind of like "knife the baby").

    So instead they cloned it and made their version specifically Windows only.

    C# and .NET are a nice tools for developing Windows apps, but for cross platform, Java and it's associated analogues are a far more mature and proven bet.

    Equinox (the osgi implementation) and the core runtime is pretty lightweight. Not tiny mind you, but you're talking like a megabyte or so.

    I'd be interested in seeing a better plugin application framework, I work with Eclipse's and I think it's pretty damn perfect.

    Oh and my eclipse application doesn't include SWT/JFace or any of that stuff. :)

    True enough, which is why they've started distributing Eclipse "distros" tailored for certain purposes.

    Like Java, Java EE, C/C++, PHP, etc, etc.

    The great part is if you end up need one of the other feature sets, it's only a click away.

    You should check out Eclipse for your vim/emacs pangs.
